\ BIC DOCTORS BILL.
What the Physicians Charged the Late ~
Tilden for their Professional Services.
From the New York Times.)

(From the New York IlmeS.)
The admirers of Samuel J. T!:ien,
who took pleasure II proclaiming or
every possible OCCASION that he posseSs"1
more Jefersonian simplicity than any
ian Of his weight il the country, were
OF course unaware that he owed a doc
tors bill of $4,000. A bill of suc!l
magnificent, not to say startling, pro
portions and JefersoniGn simplicity
could not possibly run double. For The
purpose Of supporting the ::&ge's repn,
tation for simplicity some Of his admir-
ers may argue that Mr.. Iilden may net
have been aware that he owed SO many
bags of gold for medical attendance aDv

the matter, and the-in preston among
the few people who. know anything
about it is that the coming century viii

bill is paid ct the face. 9

the question the trustee said taat Dr.
Simmons was the proper person from
whom to get information on such a sCD-
ject. Then, OF course, the reporter
gratefully accepted the statement tdat
the matter was 6 private, net a pubic,
one. The trustee would not say tn&t
payment OF Dr. Simmons bill had been
refused, but he smiled when the amount,
Sl43, 600, was mentioned.
DR.. Simmons, who is also commits
sioner of charities and correction. vas
more willing to talk than the trustee had
oeen. He talked ali around the bill,
but never mentioned the amount. The
latter was stated to him, brt even then
he failed to deny or affirm that the
figures were correct. He promptly
denied that payment had been refused.
but admitted he had not been paid.
Any delay in the matter should be
ascribed to him, he said, and not to tie
trustees of the Tilden estate. Without

or TO be exact, for seven years ana
eleven months During that period nc
had visited Mr.. Tilden every day, prob
ably. He was Mr. Iilden's friend as
well as his physician, and considered
Nj. Tilden his best friend. Mr.. Iiiden
had always done everything in his power
for him and his. Being on such terms
of intimacy, it seemed natural that a
settlement should be deferred. Il vas

Simmons said settlement would be
reached without any trouble when the
proper time arrived. He AID the trus-
tees would meet and adjust the matter.

on account OF its size. About that he
had nothing to say, nor did he offer the
reporter a copy of the bill

CHICAGO, September l5.-Ihe sever
condemned Anarchists spent the night IL

was carefully patrolled on all sides By
armed deputy sherihS, policemen in

Tie force OF deputy Sherii2s VINO guard
ed al the approaches was increased, and
these were supplemented by relays o.
uniformed police. Ali unknown, to even
the curious pedestrians, who peered
around the precincts OF tue jail, the
streets and alleys on al sides fer several
blocks were quietly patro!led by detec-
tives, who seized upon al suspicious
looking stragglers, and kept watchful
eye on ali little knots that gathered any
where in the neighborhood OF the jail.
The Anarchists Of the city are SO well
known that none Of them could get
through tie outposts without detection.
Within the jail al WAS still as death.

amount was raised, Severn. gen

the Professor proceeded with his
performance. His feats we're all

Mrs. McNulty, of Dawson, was
in the village on Monday evening.
Mrs. McNulty was once resident
OF this place, and this rs the first
visit she has made here in sixteen
years.
Why it is that scme people will
not pay their doctor is something
surprisingly strange to rs. The
doctor can no more afford TO fur
nish himself with everything and
practice medicine for nothing than
the farmer can to furnish himself,
make his crop, sell it on credit
and never get pay for it, or the
merchant to sell his goods on
time and not be paid for them.
Walk mp, gentlemen, and pay your
doctor; he needs the money, and
needs it bad
We wish to keep up our de-
partment in the Journal during

Untold SuifcliDgs-A Ten Years Ex
perieNee.

GENTLEMEN: For ten years
have had a tumor. During that
time have been under the treat
ment OF the best physicians in At
lanta, Ga, and Utica, N. Y, none
of whom were able to give relief
or assurance Of cure. Then /
turned to the use of patent medi-
zines, several Of which | used with
out avail My doctor in Dawson,
who had attended mo for twenty
years, assured me that could not
live year. About two years ago
l began using S. s. S., and at once
my tumor yielded to its influence; it
grew softer and smaller, and my
general health, which was badly
run down, was built up with the
decrease of the tumor. Finally [
telt SO we'll aud my general health
was SO good, that [ stopped the
Swift Sdecitiic, and went on per-,
forming my household duties.
But Of course,as / had notpersist-
ed in the use of the medicine an
til the tumor had entirely disap-
peared, | could only look for q re-
turn of the ailment. Again [ re-
sorted to the Swift's Specific with
the same happy results as on the
first OCCASION This has been re-
peated several times within the
last two years, the medicine never
failing to reduce the tumor and
build up my general system.
When first began to take the
Specific | was SO nervous that l
could not sleep for hours on retir-
ing. felt that if just held my feet
still for few minutes by force of
will, that it would have thrown me
into commissions. That nervous
ness the s. S, S. entirely cured.
Ny pain was 50 great that my
physician urged me to keep under
the influence Of morphine all the
time and to abandon hope Of re-
coyery. When l began the use of
Specific l was on the bed half of
my time helpless invalid. This
year I have been able to DO all Of
my cooking except when l was
down with a severe cold.

Brentwood Budget.

On last THURSDAY, about one
O'Clock, Mr.. 7. n. Killen's dry
house caught on fire. Most of
the citizens we're at dinner at the
time the alarm was given, but
soon an immense crowd gathered
with buckets in hand and thirty
minutes had not passed before the
fire was under control. The lum-
Der piles were moved as If by
magic, and the boys with their
buckets OF water soon cooled the
outer walls Of the burning build
ing SO that the immense piles Of
lumber stockaded near bycould not
catch on fire. Mr.. Killen lost
about. two car loads of dressed
flooring and some oak slaves.
This, with the loss Of the house
and expense Of removing lumber,
Is about the extent Of his loss.
